Abstract

A matter displacement and mixing system having a mixing chamber for material to enter, and a vortex aperture that directs air into the mixing chamber at either a high velocity for violent shearing or lower velocity for gentle mixing. This would depend on the shape of the vortex aperture, or the pressure.

Claims

1. A vortex mixing and ratio adjustment system (10), comprising:

a mixing nozzle (100) having a vortex aperture (175); and

a mixing nozzle aperture (120) extending away from said vortex aperture (175).

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said vortex aperture (175) has a cut-out (290) on the outer edge on the proximal end of said mixing nozzle (100);

said cut-out extends inwardly as a small channel (270) to direct the fluid direction in mixing chamber (280) in a circular motion by directing at least one of either air, gas or liquid through said cut-out portion (290).

3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a supply line aperture (200);

said vortex aperture (175) is operably connected to said supply line aperture (200);

a mixing chamber (115) immediately adjacent to said vortex aperture (175);

whereby when said supply line aperture (200) introduces pressure in said mixing chamber (115);

any matter disposed in said mixing chamber (115) is mixed together and is forced through said mixing nozzle aperture (120).

4. The vortex mixing and ratio adjustment system of claim 3, further comprising said supply line aperture (200) supplies matter to said vortex aperture (175).

5. The vortex mixing and ratio adjustment system of claim 3, further comprising:

a left chamber fluid dispenser (90) operably connected to said mixing chamber (115).

6. The vortex mixing and ratio adjustment system of claim 5, further comprising:

a right chamber fluid dispenser (95) operably connected to said mixing chamber (115).

7. The apparatus of claim 6, further comprising”

a fluid delivery system connected to said left chamber fluid dispenser (95) and said right chamber fluid dispense (90) to supply reactive chemicals into the mixing chamber (115).

15. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said channel (270) is linear shaped.

16. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said channel (270) has a partial spiral shape.

8. A vortex mixing and ratio adjustment system (10), comprising:

a vortex aperture (175);

a supply line aperture (200);

a mixing chamber (115) disposed at the proximal end of a mixing nozzle (100);

a left chamber fluid dispenser (90) fluidly connected to said mixing chamber (115);

a right chamber fluid dispenser (95) fluidly connected to said mixing chamber (115);

whereby a at least one of either a gas, air, or liquid displaced from said supply line aperture (200) under pressure forces any matter entering said mixing chamber (115) to mix.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising:

said vortex aperture (175) has a cut-out (290) on the outer edge on the proximal end of said mixing nozzle (100);

said cut-out extends radially inwardly as a small channel (270) to direct the fluid direction in mixing chamber (280) in a circular motion.

17. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said channel (270 is linear shaped.

18. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said channel (270) has a partial spiral shape.

10. A vortex mixing and ratio adjustment system (10), comprising:

a left trigger (40) in operational engagement with a left chamber fluid dispenser (90);

a right trigger (45) in operational engagement with a right chamber fluid dispenser (95);

a mixing nozzle (100) having a vortex aperture (175) and a mixing chamber (115) integral with said vortex aperture (175).

11. The apparatus of claim 10, whereby when material is displaced from said left chamber fluid dispenser (90) and said right chamber fluid dispenser (95) the separate materials are forced to mix together before the mixed material enters the mixing nozzle aperture (120).

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein when air pressure enters said vortex aperture (175) and when material is displaced from said left chamber fluid dispenser (90) and said right chamber fluid dispenser (95) the separate materials are forced to mix together before the mixed material enters the mixing nozzle aperture (120).

13. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising a unison movement means (170) to move said left trigger (40) and said right trigger (45) in unison when the unison movement means (170) is engaged, and then the unison movement means (170) is not engaged, then the left trigger (40) and right trigger (45) can move independently of one another.

14. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising:

vortex aperture (175) has a cut-out (280) on the outer edge on the proximal end of said mixing nozzle (100); and

said cut-out extends inwardly as a channel (270) to direct the fluid direction in mixing chamber (290) in a circular motion.

19. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said channel (270) is linear shaped.

20. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said channel (270) has a partial spiral shape.
